Discover science up close. Take a look behind the scenes in the O|2 Lab building of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam on Saturday 3 October.
During the Weekend of Science, companies, hospitals, museums, universities and research centres throughout the Netherlands open their doors to curious visitors, old and young. And of course VU Amsterdam is participating again.
On Saturday 3 October, you are welcome in the VU O|2 Lab building from 10.00 am for a look behind the scenes into the world of science and research.
Step into an environment where we work daily on knowledge and innovations that shape our future. From the smallest molecules to advanced robots, from living cells to smart technologies that help solve societal challenges: in the O|2 Lab Building you will discover how science influences and changes our lives.
During this interactive afternoon, researchers, lecturers and students of the Faculty of Science will show what they are doing on a daily basis. Get to know the people behind the research, ask your questions, participate in experiments and experience for yourself how science works in practice. Whether you're interested in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, earth science, computer science, or artificial intelligence, there's something for everyone to discover.
Explore laboratories, admire spectacular demonstrations and discover how fundamental research leads to innovations that have a direct impact on our daily lives. Be surprised by special research stories, test setups and technologies that normally remain hidden behind the doors of the laboratory.
Whether you are young or old, an enthusiastic science enthusiast or just curious about how the world around you works: the O|2 Lab building offers a unique opportunity to experience science up close.
